That's my free time as well, if I had to make things "just work" I'd 
build the sdk and then just ./configure and copy stuff to the image by hand.
Unfortunately I'm pretty new to qt and yocto and sooner or later things 
will have to "just work". I'm concerned that the solution I'll come up 
with will be substandard to be merged to meta-qt5, especially if I'll be 
left alone in the cold, before the time I'll have to make things "just 
work" will come and all my efforts will be lost in time like tears in 
the rain.

Still putting together the right knowledge to try to contribute a bit back.

thanks
